I’m looking for recommendations for combination laundry/body washes that aren’t Dr. Bronner’s. I get why many love it, but my skin reacts poorly with Bronners. I’d prefer to use a solid/bar but am struggling to find one that does both of these things.

I’ve had good success with Ethique products as conditioner and skin moisturizer, but not sure their soaps are ok for laundry?

Has anyone used the sea to summit leaves?

Update: thank you for the recommendations everyone! I think what is now clear to me is that with the same amount of space and weight I could take some compact laundry sheets, and then a gentle body soap bar. I’m jealous of all of the people that have said they have success just using whatever soap is available where they’re staying. I find much of the time those soaps just destroy my skin.

The best bag in terms of weight by volume ratio. The bag that gives maximum space and organization/comfort while weighing superlight? Here is my pick

Buy Hiking Bag 30 Litre Nh100 Black Online | Decathlon

Perhaps one of the cheapest bags from decathlon and I am in love with this. Been to several week/long onebag trips with this. Biggest pro is 30L volume while weighing just 620g. Compare this with Escape 32, which weighs 1.3 kg (more than double). Why it matters? Instead of carrying dead weight of bag, you can bring in some stuff or free your dear shoulder.

This bag even has loops below to carry a mat or sleeping bag for instance. Two bottle cages (honestly, not that good though). Multiple loops for treking poles, paracord net to dry your laundry/towel. Chest AND hip straps with integrated whistle. Sideways opening pocket in front for airport use (fast document retrieval) What more can you ask! The bag is very very inexpensive too.

IMO this is the best bag for everyone who want to give OneBag a try.

How often do carry-on bags get weighed when flying within SE Asia?

I’ll be travelling around south east Asia soon with a 40L carry-on a small day pack and will be taking some domestic flights and some flights in between countries (e.g. Thailand > Vietnam). I’ve seen quite a few posts on here about various Asian airlines having strict 7kg weight limits for carry on bags. Does anyone have experience with this? How common is it to have your bags weighed?

Suggestions for 50/50 Tshirts (Europe)

Hi everyone, I’ve been checking out several packing lists and came across 50/50 shirts a couple of times. Unfortunately they seem to be more popular in the US than in Europe and I’ve been struggling to find a proper option. I’m looking for cotton/polyester and preferred without any kind of writing, print etc. on it. Do you have an idea where I could find such t-shirts or a good alternative? Thanks in advance (:
